The Hiatus is Over!

So much has happened in the life of the Roberts clan over the last few months!

I haven't made time to blog like I told myself I wanted to, so now I am going to MAKE it happen!

I'll just overview everything that has happened since my last post.

I shared a very personal post that basically exhausted my writing.

I was so emotionally tired after that I almost completely cut myself out of social media but I stood tall and I kept going.

I didn't share that post in hopes people would feel bad for me I hoped maybe that even just one person who needed to read my story would and that it would help them.

Then there is being a mom and all that fun stuff it has kept me very busy and to honest I am a bit lazy and cut corners like no body's business!

Speaking of parenting Asher has turned TWO!!! Crazy right? He is a strong willed kid which I'm sure will pay off later in life, I hope.... ha ha
Asher is now coming up on Three and I can't believe it he is so intelligent, tender hearted, extremely loving and loves to get his way!
This guy has a very specific pallet which includes; fruit, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, quesadilla's, PB&J, ravioli and SpaghettiO's. Nothing more nothing less, and even on some days he doesn't like any of that and only wants fruit.. This kid... ha ha

For his birthday he picked the simplest cake out of all the pictures I had shown him, go figure...

I love this little stinker!!

Then there is Grace she is already ONE!!! WHAT? Yep, basically she is too cute for her own good. I am starting to feel like I've got the swing of being a mom and I can handle most tantrums that come my way, thanks for giving me some training Asher!

Grace is very busy I can tell she will keep my hands full as well but for now I will enjoy her being little.

She hasn't started walking but she talks up a storm and is a little cuddle bug(which I love!!)She LOVES to eat anything and everything, she loves anything bright and girly.(Nothing like me but I love it!!) she loves getting dressed up, loves Minnie and Sofia, isn't afraid of much and a silent trouble maker, and finally she adores her big brother even when he screams at her to stop talking. 

THEN finally last but not least my best friend Jared. Something I have had the honor of learning this year is how amazing Jared is with kids.

Everywhere he goes kids line up to play with him. He has a true talent. I sure love this guy. It hasn't always been easy for us but we always make it through.

 Our biggest family trial has been the wait for medical school.  I have mostly been support and love during the low times to encourage him to not give up on his dreams. A year ago Jared had the impression he would be pushed to the edge and then off of it and then he would soar, we didn't quit know how to interpret it. We figured it meant at the last moment we would get into medical school but for our second application cycle in a row we were left confused and a little heart broken. We continued with faith and we went for our third round of applications and worried it wouldn't work out again. We even had started to think about other options.

Then we got the email that said we got an interview at the University of Utah for the third year in a row at this point I'd lost hope we'd be staying in Utah, then I remember this morning crystal clear, I was laying in bed trying to avoid getting up and I heard Jared phone ring which always made my heart skip a beat because it was the season of acceptances... Then I heard Jared run outside and I thought okay be calm that is probably just Jared's parents so I stayed in bed trying to convince myself it's nothing then I heard Jared outside what I thought I heard was him crying so naturally I ran outside and I looked at him and he looked at me crying and I asked if it was... He nodded his head yes, and gave me a thumbs up. I of course ran to him and started to sob into his shoulder and then ran to tell my mom the news still bawling my eyes out. 

It was a week long daydream. It didn't feel real but it's real and all that faith we held onto payed off and we got in. It would have been easy to lose faith and give up but thankfully even when other people expected us to give up we never did.

SO it has been an eventful year.

We finally feel like our future is set and we know what's going to happen next.

I am still learning as a mom, becoming the wife I wanted to be, and finding my passions in life.

It has been hard to let go of some things that I love but it has all led me towards things that will ultimately make me happy.

What being a mom and wife has been like for me as follows.. ha ha

Yep my son to a "T"...

I am glad to say we have only missed one date night this year. It isn't optional. We don't have to do something extravagant each week we just have to go out without the kids. 

I love you Jared. I believe in you and I always will. You are superman and deserve to succeed and I know you will!! You have worked hard for the future and it's going to be great!!

Well y'all get the gist. There are a lot of things that have happened but I just wanted to let you all know I am back at the blogging thing and I am ready to share my tips and my life with everyone again!

If you'd like to hear about something specifically send me a message or leave a comment and I'll work up a post for ya.

 So here goes!! Love y'all and thank you for reading!
